19-year-old woman arrested with 2 open bottles of Budweiser in car

MIDDLETOWN -- A 19-year-old Colchester woman was arrested after police found two open beer bottles in her car during a traffic stop June 1.

Kayla Kramer, 9090 Deer Run Road, was taken into custody following a motor vehicle stop at Middletown High School at 7:39 p.m.

Kramer reportedly had two open, partially full 12-ounce Budweiser beer bottles in the beverage holder by the center console. She also smelled of alcohol, police said. Although Kramer insisted she had not been drinking, she failed sobriety tests, police said.

Kramer was placed in a police cruiser and began to scream and yell. She allegedly asked people passing by to let her out of the car. Upon arrival at the station, Kramer refused to get out of the car, police said, and had to be forcibly removed.

Police described Kramer as out of control. When placed in her cell, she allegedly laid on the floor and cried. At that point, she was brought to a local hospital for an evaluation.

Upon being discharged, Kramer was arrested for disorderly conduct, interfering with an officer and possession of alcohol by a minor. When the results of a hospital blood test come in, she could also be charged with driving while intoxicated, police said.

Kramer, who is free on $1,000 bond, is scheduled to appear in Middletown Superior Court June 10.
